Check out http://www.seedlings.org/about.php - they are a Detroit based nonprofit that assists with braille books for children. Good luck! On Tue, Jun 24, 2014 at 10:54 AM, G Nartker <gnartker@sandusky.lib.mi.us> wrote:
Hello Library Community -
I have two questions to pose to anyone interested in providing some advice / assistance:
(1) Is there a source for free braille material that would be appropriate for a 1st grader? One of our local teachers is looking for Easy materials that are written in braille with words accompanying the braille text. I have given her paperwork and information for LBPH at St. Clair County Library System, but would love any further help in this matter.
(2) The tech director at one of our local schools is facing a problem with a local automation system. He asked me if I would pose a question to this group concerning the use of an open source library system (ie. Evergreen) to run a very small school library. Of course, the school system has next to no money to spend on technology and the old system has crashed with (probably) no back up. Any information on whether open source is a viable 'fix' would be greatly appreciated.
As always, thank you in advance for any and all advice! Gail Nartker, Director Sandusky District Library http://sandusky.lib.mi.us _______________________________________________ Michlib-l mailing list Michlib-l@mcls.org http://lists.mlcnet.org/mailman/listinfo/michlib-l
